The babe has chosen to wear a traditional Manish Malhotra creation at the prestigious soiree and we wonder if she’s going to go back to sporting her signature style – an itsy-bitsy blouse, a tacky strip of pallu and a dangerously low-waist saree

Ameesha Patel will be representing her next film Shortcut Romeo starring Neil Nitin Mukesh at the Cannes International Film Festival. The movie will be premiered during the event on the French Riviera on May 22. And Ms Patel has proudly declared that since this is such a huge honour for her, she wants to look out-and-out Indian on the red carpet in Cannes. Now if you check back through her style track record, the babe is known for making some disastrous boo-boos, especially when she goes all ethnic. She is known for wearing her saree in a way that provides a more than generous view of her cleavage, her midriff and her shoulders. The chica loves her halters, her bikini bras, her shiny tube tops and her off-shoulder blouses. We have nothing against exposing too much – but if every time she insists on being the femme fatale, then our irritation levels go up a notch.

If you think about it, Ms Patel is not an expert at doing justice to the traditional look. The pure Bharatiya nari statement seems to be like a near-impossible task for the bootylicious babe. Be it a wedding reception or an awards function, her chic meter is incomplete without her slipping pallu showing off her…err…assets.

So even while Manish the ‘iconic’ Malhotra says he will create a pretty black and white outfit with Kashmiri and chikankari work for Ameesha, we can already imagine the lady posing for the French paparazzi in her usual more skin is better avatar, making us go crimson yet again!
